Reliance Facilities Management views procurement management services as an integral part of successful contract management.  By operating an approved suppliers scheme, the procurement team is able to  ensure that all suppliers have the quality systems, processes, health and safety requirements and financial stability necessary to deliver the high standard of services expected, to customers. 

Careful management of suppliers, combined with excellent tendering and negotiation skills, deliver real savings for our customers and ensure continued cost effectiveness throughout the term of the contract.

Procurement Management Services:

• Facilities purchasing requirements
• Procurement of facilities equipment, services and consumables
• Utilities, rates and rent

Our People
The members of our procurement team are selected primarily for their dynamic negotiation and analytical skills, however, a high value is also placed on excellent communication and interpersonal skills.  Our team understand the importance of supporting and developing our supplier relationships in order to implement an effective sourcing policy that will deliver bottom-line savings to our customers.  Our personal development plans support the development of the procurement professional, as well as encouraging a general understanding of the business.

Reliance Facilities Management uses membership of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply as a benchmark for competence.

Purchasing efficiency
In order to make savings, it is necessary to align our procurement initiatives with our customers’ priorities. We analyse existing contracts and forecast expected use of any product or service by that customer. Using our knowledge of the market place, we improve terms and share these savings with our customers.
 
Expanding supply chain partnerships
By mapping current supply chains we can understand vulnerability or over-dependence on specific suppliers. We develop relationships that are local to our customers, but never ignore an opportunity to maximise our national coverage. We develop partnerships with suppliers with a similar culture and values to the customers we serve, as well as those who offer best value and guaranteed continuity of supply.
